At this time, some people proposed, since the cost of returning things is so high, why not vigorously develop the protection of cultural relics in our country?

In fact, the number of cultural relics unearthed in China every year is much higher than the number of cultural relics returned, especially in the areas of the big river basins, many ordinary farmers will dig up some scattered cultural relics by chance.

But because of what I said earlier, the Cultural Relics Law stipulates that the unearthed cultural relics belong to the state, so a large number of cultural relics unearthed dare not report to the relevant departments, because the remuneration given may not even be enough for the travel expenses, and if they are not guaranteed, they will be treated as a tomb robber like Zhu Laoqi and imprisoned. Therefore, most of the cultural relics have fallen into the hands of the antique market and many collectors, which has formed the status quo that the folk cultural relics are far greater than the state-owned collections.

However, not everyone who collects folk cultural relics has the conditions to take good care of these cultural relics, and most collectors live a life of tight clothing and food, just to save money and buy a collection that they like, and how can they have spare money to create a suitable preservation environment for these cultural relics?

In order to improve this phenomenon and protect these cultural relics that have been lost among the people, the state encourages qualified individuals to legally carry out centralized collections. Thus, the "private museum" was born.

The policy is good, but the results are not satisfactory. Many powerful collectors have opened private museums with great fanfare, but collecting this kind of thing can only be regarded as a niche culture, and compared to the scale of the entire cultural tourism industry, the market for private museums is pitifully small, and few ordinary people are really interested in these things.

However, a large number of private museums established by collectors' personal interests have no experience in many aspects such as exhibition hall construction, operation and management, collection registration, exhibition settings, collection maintenance, and industry exchanges.

Those who invest privately in the construction of museums can be divided into three categories: one is the collector of cultural relics and "upgraded" from a collector to a private museum owner; the second is an entrepreneur who builds a museum around his own industry and collects collections; and the third is a cultural enthusiast with strong assets who regards the opening of a private museum as a realization of his personal ideals.

Those powerful private museum owners rely on the income from operating in other fields to give the museum blood transfusion to barely survive, because the meager ticket income may not even be enough for electricity, and most museums with average financial resources can only rely on secretly selling a few cultural relics to tear down the east wall to make up the west wall to maintain their business, and even some so-called "collectors" with impure purposes simply use private museums as a tool for reselling and obtaining relevant state subsidies.

Even so, those true collectors still open their private museums without regrets, which is the personality and persistence of the inheritors of Chinese classical collections.

Because they feel that they are doing their duty to inherit and carry forward the national culture by taking out the treasures that have been painstakingly collected by generations and presenting them to everyone in the way of public welfare. This is their fate, but also their value, but also the mission given to them by history, Mencius said "for the sake of the saints to continue learning", this is the case. Love Literature Network

Du Lin walked into this Kulai Xuan from the entrance on the right, and entered a small iron door half a person high, next to a table with a small sign on the table that read "Ticket Office", and a female conductor in her twenties was sitting on a chair and napping.

"Beauty, beauty!" Durin knocked on the table, "I'm going to enter the museum and sell tickets!"

"Hmm, oh, buy a ticket?" the female conductor woke up from her dream, agreed sleepily, and subconsciously wiped the corners of her mouth, "One hundred and twenty-one tickets, how many people are you?"

Du Lin's eyes widened, one hundred and twenty-one tickets? This museum is expensive enough, the famous Palace Museum only has sixty-one tickets, and it is also the price in the peak season, and it is only forty-one in the off-season, although it is said that the Forbidden City is a national museum, with state subsidies, and the number of tourists is huge, even if the ticket price is low, but there are many people who can't stand it. But no matter how you say it, this Gu Lai Xuan is the size of a three-entry or even two-entry quadrangle, and it costs one hundred and two for such a small place.

"Beauty, why are you really expensive here? Durin said with a wry smile.

"Hey, it's not easy for our boss to open such a museum, to be honest, if you really want to see it, you can see it as soon as possible, maybe it will have to close after a while. The conductor took out a small mirror from the drawer of the table and cut her hair in front of it.

"Why? Isn't it only a few months since the museum opened?" Du Lin remembered that Wang Tie said that he had only attended the opening ceremony three months ago.

"Then you don't know, in fact, counting the trial opening, our museum has been open for a year, and only the official opening ceremony has the most people, but it is still free to visit that day. Our boss can't afford to lose money, otherwise he wouldn't have set the ticket price so high. The female conductor looked at no one on the left and right, and whispered to Du Lin, "If you are too expensive, I will give you an idea, if you are not in a hurry, today you go to visit other places first, when passing by the train station, you find those travel companies that send small advertisements to report a one-day individual group, some group routes have our Gulaixuan this attraction, through them to buy tickets cheap, fifty yuan a person." ”

Du Lin felt that this female conductor was very funny, and took the initiative to help tourists find ways to save money, but after thinking about it, she was also thinking about her own job, under the nest, there were no eggs, if Gu Lai Xuan was closed, her job would be gone, and the tourists were introduced to the individual group, although it seemed that each tourist earned less, but for the museum, there is not much difference between the cost of receiving a tourist and receiving a group of ten people, but the ticket for a tourist is one hundred and twenty yuan, and the ticket for a group of ten people is about five hundred yuan, so the museum prefers to receive individual groups, and the more individual groups receive them, the greater the profit margin。

"Forget it, I'm in a hurry, you can get me a ticket, besides, is your boss here? Durin pulled out two hundred dollars from his wallet.

"Are you going to sell antiques? If so, I advise you to forget it, our boss is so poor now, he is going to sell antiques, how can he have spare money to collect antiques?" The female conductor tore off a ticket book and gave Durin money.
